LUMIstar Omega – Microplate reader
The LUMIstar ® Omega is a dedicated microluminescent reader from BMG LABTECH that provides highly sensitive flash and light meter readings. This DLReady certified microplate reader can also be equipped with Simultaneous Dual Emissions for BRET applications and can be further upgraded to a multimode reader.
LUMIstar Omega is a special luminescence plate reader for luminescence measurements, including BRET. It provides highly sensitive readings of all luminescence applications in end point measurements and kinetics testing. Furthermore, the built-in filter and simultaneous emission detection feature help with multi-wavelength detection and BRET applications.
